Features
- Advanced layer 2 through layer 7 content matching capabilities
-
Gluelessly interfaces with many network processors using synchronous SRAM (ZBT or Sync Burst)
bus operating up to 6.4 Gbps. System interface supports DMA mode for data transfer
- Supports 8Kbyte maximum packet size
- Classification and analysis up to OC48 speed using header, payload or user-defined data
- Key length programmable from 1 to 192 bytes
- Provides 16K policy database entries with one classification processor and 128K entries with eight classification processors
- Performs forward and reverse content searches
- Policy database configurable into multiple partitions with each partition storing a different class of rules
- Searches executed sequentially, conditionally and/or in parallel using sophisticated chaining mechanisms
- Supports up to 32 independent input/output request/response data channels
-
Interfaces to an optional SSRAM for extended capabilities such as programmed search sequencing, per
rule statistics collections, timestamp, and user data.
- IPv4 aware and IPv6 ready
- Software Developer's Kit (SDK), available separately, accelerates application development.
